Benefit Concert for Veterans for Peace Chapter #161

The Family Folk Machine, the intergenerational musical group that has earned numerous accolades in its five-year history and of which I am a proud band member, will perform a benefit concert for Veterans For Peace Chapter #161 at the Unitarian Universalist Society on Sunday, February 17th at 3:00 pm. The concert will feature FFM singers and instrumentalists ranging in age from five to 80, with an emphasis on peace and justice themes. Selections will range from familiar favorites by Iris DeMent, Pete Seeger, John Prine and Bob Dylan to original creations by local artists and members of the Family Folk Machine.

Veterans For Peace Chapter #161 is an organization of over 30 veterans and associates in eastern Iowa who have a simple mission — peace. VFP #161 is part of the national Veterans For Peace organization, which was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in St. Louis.
